Chapter 121: Calm down!
Absolutely — I’ll keep the same first-person narration, tension, and supernatural/time-loop mystery, while making the sentences fuller and more natural.“No,” I said, low and final.Sophia stared at me as though I had just said something completely unreasonable. “No? Draven, look at your arm. That is not something we can simply put ice on and hope it disappears.”“I know.”“Then why are you refusing?”“Because I cannot afford to have anyone else involved in this.”Elyndra’s eyes narrowed. “You are already involved with us, whether you like it or not.”I glanced at her, but she did not look away.“The moment you brought Sophia here, you involved her. The moment you told me about Haland, you involved me. And now you are sitting in my office bleeding through your clothes while insisting that you do not need a hospital. So forgive me if I do not understand your logic.”I clenched my jaw and looked down at my arm.The wound had worsened considerably since the last time I checked it, with d

So why should I believe you? She asked, eyes narrowed at me suspiciously. “Look around you, Sophia. Is there any chance that I would go through all this risk to come to a place like this for someone I didn’t know?”“Well… i would’ve known.” Her voice blended into a whisper.“You know what? If you want to find out whether I’m being honest or not, come with me.” I said reassuringly. “I have nothing to gain from lieing.” “I understand.” She replied. Silence settled within us as I searched her eyes. She looked up and met my gaze. “I believe you. Allow me some minutes to pack my things.” “Alright. I will be here.” In no time Sophia was out. We headed to Elyndra’s company. We all sit in Elyndra’s office. The air is thick with tension. Elyndra leaned forward. “Look, I understand all of this is confusing. It was to me at first also, but come on, take a look at the young man. “Isn’t he making your inside splatter with butterflies?”Sophia turned bright red. “Urh… T-that’s not—“Not true?
Chapter 130. Sophia in Another World
“Shall we” Draven said.I stood at the center of the interviewing room, Jax stood at the end of the room watching us keenly. The first interviewer began. “Draven Quill. Twenty-six years old. Applying for the role of the stock analyst. One question though. Why should we hire you?”I smiled. “I think the appropriate question should be why should I choose to work here?”Their faces scrunched up. They didn’t like my response. Jax intense gaze rested on me, lips curved to the side amused.“And why would you ask that?” the last interviewer asked.“If you go over my portfolio, you can see track records of successful stock analysis carried out in both the national and at the international level of various companies. I have built stock profiles of both individual account, enterprises and even offshore account. Analyze PE ratios, EPS, ROE, Dividend yield and so on of many companies, leading them to a mass percentage of profit.”They’re sole focus was on me now. Good. Now I score my goal and gai

Jax opened the door and stepped outside.I followed him, my mind racing faster than my feet.“Where are we going?”He didn’t answer.“Jax.”He unlocked his car and pulled open the driver’s door.“Get in.”I stopped beside the passenger door.“You expect me to get into a car with you after accusing you of kidnapping Draven?”He glanced at me.“You’re welcome to walk.”I rolled my eyes and got in.The moment the door slammed shut, Jax started the engine.He drove out of the compound without another word.For the first few minutes, neither of us spoke.I watched the city blur past the window, my fingers twisting anxiously in my lap.“Where did they take him?”“An abandoned warehouse.”“Where?”“Outside the city.”I turned sharply toward him.“How do you know?”His hands tightened around the steering wheel.“Because I’ve been there before.”My stomach dropped.“When?”“Three years ago.”“For what?”He didn’t answer.Of course.I scoffed and turned back toward the window.“You’re seriously
Chapter 28
When I heard about Mr. Draven’s disappearance, my blood rose, and my hands itched to punch someone.Jax.It was him. It had to be him masterminding the whole thing. But the question was, how did he hear about Draven’s whereabouts?Everything had happened so briefly that afternoon, and even I wasn’t informed.I pulled the round-neck T-shirt over my head and grabbed my keys immediately. After locking the door, I headed straight to Jax’s house.That son of a bitch.I drove faster than I should have, my fingers tightening around the steering wheel every time another thought crossed my mind.Jax had always been unpredictable. He could smile at you while planning your downfall behind your back.And now Draven was missing.Coincidence?Hell no.I pulled into his driveway and slammed the car door shut.The front door was locked.I knocked once.Nothing.I knocked again, harder.“Jax!”Still nothing.My jaw clenched.I stepped back and looked through the glass beside the door. The living room
Chapter 126
I followed Jax down the corridor, keeping a comfortable distance between us while pretending not to notice the way the entire atmosphere seemed to change whenever he passed someone. There was something about him that demanded attention without requiring him to ask for it, and although I had always known Jax possessed that kind of presence, seeing it inside Halland Stock Institute was different. Here, his arrogance was not merely a personality trait; it was almost an extension of the building itself, woven into the polished floors, the glass walls, the expensive artwork, and the nervous employees who seemed to know better than to stand in his way.We reached a set of dark wooden doors at the end of the corridor, and Jax pushed one open without knocking.His office was exactly what I expected.Expensive.Minimal.Cold.The entire wall behind his desk was made of glass, offering an uninterrupted view of the city below, while the opposite wall held several framed certificates and photogra
